Fairhaven Marijuana Clinic

The Fairhaven Planning Board has endorsed a medical marijuana zoning bylaw, sending it to Town Meeting for approval. According to published reports, the 7-1 vote Tuesday night marked a departure from the Board's discussions just two months ago, when it voted to institute a temporary moratorium on all medical marijuana dispensaries in town. The President of Compassionate Care Clinics of East Falmouth, Kelley Stormo, who has proposed a facility for the former lottery building on Pequod Road, said she was "very pleased" with the decision. The bylaw would allow for dispensaries by special permit in a section of the town's industrially zoned area which includes Pequod Road, where Compassionate Care's proposed clinic would be located.
